For example, Love & Associates serves as Town/City Engineer in the areas of drainage and flood control (hydrology/hydraulics) to several small communities who do not have the funds for a full-time staff including the City of Black Hawk (seven years), the Town of Erie (two years) and the Town of Columbine Valley (three years). We have also been the hydrologic/hydraulic engineer to the City of Boulder for the past 16 years and to Boulder County on an intermittent basis for the past seven years. Weare and have been on the "standing order consultant" list at the University of Colorado- Boulder for 13 years for performing floodplain and civil engineering consulting services. We have also provided civil and drainage consulting services to Western State College (prepared a complete campus water system master plan and system replacement design and inspection) and have provided services to Colorado State University (landscape and trail design, irrigation intake system re-design, reservoir rehabilitation and water quality pond and drainage design) over the past several years. Love & Associates understands the workings of public entities in regards to contracting and in contract document preparation and administration. Following is a listing of several projects that are similar to the proposed project: Fourmile Canvon Creek - Drainaf!e Master Plan & Preliminarv Desif!n: Love & Associates, Inc., under contract to the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and the City of Boulder, updated the hydrologic model previously prepared for Fourmile Canyon Creek, as documented in the Maior Drainagewav Planning, Boulder and Adiacent County Drainagewavs, Phase B report, dated May of 1987 (Original Report), which was utilized as the hydrological basis of the project study. The input parameters of the Original Report were checked for reasonableness and corrections were made, where appropriate. The Original Report assumed, incorrectly, that all floodwaters remained in the Fourmile Canyon Creek floodplain. The hydrology model for this study was then modified as a part of this project to account for flows that spill from Fourmile Canyon Creek and flow into the Wonderland Creek drainage. The Original Report models were prepared using SWMM, CUHP and HEC-l. No documentation or digital files existed for this original work, thus the reason for updating the models for use for future projects and to update the land use parameters. Love & Associates also updated the Fourmile Canyon Creek floodplain, floodway, conveyance and high hazard flood zones for the entire reach of Fourmile Canyon Creek within the City of Boulder; prepared alternative designs for specific reaches of the stream; performed a damage analysis and benefits-cost analysis to determine the best solution. We also performed environmental assessments of the entire reach and prepared a final Phase A, Alternatives Analysis report and are in the process of preparing the preliminary design portion of the Master Plan (Phase B) for the selected alternate.
